Pulling out all the stops.  Another one of those, “if we don’t land him, we did all we could”. 
 

I think we will want/need a 3/4 player sized freshman class and 3 or so transfers. We miss our primary targets that money gets earmarked to the portal and so long as we have a a solid season, there isn’t too much too worry about in recruiting until the NIL dries up. 
 

Haralson, Mullins, Reibe sounds great.  And Sisley if he wants in.  

Would love to add Tiller to the group

TJD is damn near royalty at IU and he ceded the good seat to this recruit

No word on him committing yet. Time to start panicking.

Pretty amazing that today's IUBB reunion day spanned 8 decades and Jalen Haralson had a front row seat.

How can you not love Adam Howard - just an amazing ambassador to your program.

The staff is 4 deep at La Lumiere right now for Haralson, per Rabby.

This isn’t a knock on Haralson specifically but rather recruiting in general…. 
I don’t know how coaches do it.  Develop a relationship since the kid was 14, offer him 500k-750k-1mm  or whatever it is, host him for the weekend and then you have to visit him yet again a couple of days after the official visit? 
 

I’d rather have a job cleaning port a pots at a concert, by hand, than be a college recruiter.

Have you seen port a pots at a concert?? I'll take the recruiting!

So much silliness- what does having all 4 coaches there actually accomplish? "Look how much we care, we have 4 people in the same room with you!!" 

Not sure I'd take the port-a-potty job instead though!

While it is silly, it is definitely noticed by recruits

No doubt, just like a 4yr old likes sprinkles on ice cream. They are useless and stupid, but exciting to immature minds.

Spending his weekend in South Bend.

Probably would have been more fun in DeKalb, Illinois.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 82,698]

Mullins at Michigan - they lose.

Haralson at ND - they lose.

A good sign they both need to come to IU where we know how to win football games!

 

[HoosierTrav 7,630]

I find it incredibly difficult to believe that kids would choose a basketball program based off of the result of a football game, during a visit.

I guess my lighthearted humor wasn't lighthearted enough.
